   They say that love is blind,   
   But my love for you isn't:   
   My heart is with my mind,   
   My soul is with my reason.   
      
   I know why I love you,   
   And it's completely real:   
   And unified and true:   
   I think it, and I feel it:   
      
   I love you for your heart,   
   Your sweetness and compassion,   
   I love you since you're smart   
   And filled with joy and passion,   
      
   I love you for your warmth   
   And excellence and wisdom;   
   For lights that through you course   
   In every time and season -   
      
   For beauty that you are   
   Both outside and inside,   
   Because you are a star   
   In nature and in mindset -   
      
   I love you for your will   
   To help, and for your honor:   
   For where you've gone and been   
   And came out all the stronger:   
      
   I love you for your grace   
   And for your dedication   
   To good deeds; your soft face   
   And glorious inspiration -   
      
   For your resplendent gifts   
   And what you're doing with them -   
   And all you are - it is   
   Completely true to reason:   
      
   I love you for your light   
   And unremitting kindness   
   All times of day and night -   
   No, my love is not mindless   
      
   I love you for I see   
   The wonder that you're truly   
   And from it comes to be   
   The passion reasoned fully:   
      
   My heart and mind are clear   
   And doubt they both cast out   
   And there is nothing here   
   That's blind or not thought out:   
      
   I love you with my mind   
   And heart and strength and spirit   
   No, my love is not blind -   
   It's unified: So feel it.
